8 Speed Auto for HD trucks
Apparently, ZF is making an 8 Speed HD trans that can handle 1000 lb-ft. 2020 release date. I see it as the next trans in the Ram 2500 and 3500s. LINK

as a point of interest because its not apples to apples, my volvo has a 12 speed (automated with 2 reverse)but never uses all the gears.
It can sense the load (very light) starts in 3 almost 99% of the time then skips the next 1 or 2 gears.These new transmissions may do the same, they have every possible gear for all conditions.
Does anyone know it they skip shift?
